Hello clans of Star Wars Battlefront! My name is Oven, and I would like to announce the creation of a new Tournament for SWBF. The tournament will be organized and hosted through SWBFgamers.com. It will be in line with the tradition of the GGWs of old, but updated and changed significantly.
Here I will give the first draft of the rules for this tournament. These rules are tentative and subject to change. If you don't like a rule, please tell everyone why. All members of participating clans are invited to read these rules thoroughly and discuss them below. If you have reasonable (as defined by me) suggestions for improvements, list them clearly in the comments below, and later a voting thread will be created where the proposed amendments can be voted on (with each participating clan having one vote). The goal is for this tournament's architecture to be as democratic as possible, but not more.
Another thread will be created where anyone may nominate as many maps as they want (stock or mod) which will be used in the landscape of the war. These will also then be voted on later, perhaps in the same thread as the rule improvements. Probably around 12-15 maps will be chosen.
1. Basic tournament layout
As in previous wars, the tournament proceeds in a series of weeks (Week 1, Week 2, ...).
Also as before, the skeleton of the tournament consists of a network of planets which may be occupied, attacked, defended, and so forth by clans. Every planet is connected to a (low) number of other planets, and a clan may only move from Planet A to Planet B if A and B are connected. Only one clan may occupy a planet at any given time.
There will be two types of planet, Large and Small. A Large planet contains two maps, and a Small planet contains one map. (Therefore Coruscant, Earth, Hoth, Bespin are strong candidates for being Large Planets. Mygeeto is not) There will be precisely as many large planets as there are clans at the beginning of the tournament. Each clan will be randomly assigned to a Large Planet at the beginning of the tournament. This will be their Home planet, but there is otherwise no special significance attached to this planet. The rules for attacking and defending home planets are no different from those for Large planets in general. (Note that if a clan is eliminated from the tournament, not all large planets will be home planets.)
Small planets are occupied by natives at the beginning of the tournament. A Native team may contain literally anyone, including tournament Admins, other clan members, and other members of SWBFgamers who are interesting in participating. However, the ratio of attacking clan members to defending natives must be 3:2. This means that for every 3 attacking clan members, there can be at most 2 defending natives. Example: CLAN attacks Mustafar with 9 members. Therefore only 6 players may defend as natives. If there are a weird number of attackers, then the odds will be shifted in favor of the attackers. Example: CLAN attacks Mustafar with 8 members. Then only 5 players may defend as natives. (8*2/3 = 5.333, round down to 5.)
Justification: The odds should be biased in favor of the attacking clan, because the goal of the tournament is to have clan-clan interaction and not clan-random player interaction. The idea is to extinguish the natives relatively early in the tournament.
Furthermore, at most 2 members from any given clan may play as natives. Justification: CLAN vs. native should really mean CLAN vs. native, not CLAN vs. opposing clan.
The other cases are: Clan attacks large planet, and clan attacks small planet. The details of all these scenarios are given below.
Scenario: Clan attacks Large Planet.
# attackers: No more than the number of defenders
# defenders: at least 4, at most 12
# maps played: 2. attacker must win both times to take planet.
Defender privileges: select era and side.
Attacker privileges: choose map order
Scenario: Clan attacks natives on small planet.
# attackers: no restriction
# defenders: 2 for every 3 attackers
# maps played: 1. Winner takes planet.
Defender privileges: none
Attacker privileges: select era and side
Scenario: Clan attacks other clan on small planet.
# attackers: At most 8
# defenders: At most 8
# maps played: 1. Winner takes planet.
Defender privileges: none
Attacker privileges: select era and side
Example: CLAN attacks NALC on a Large planet, and only 7 NALC can play at the designated time, then only 7 CLAN may play.
Example: CLAN attacks NALC on a small planet, and only 5 NALC can play at the designated time, 8 CLAN members may still play.
Example: CLAN attacks NALC on a large planet, but only wins 1 of the 2 maps. NALC retains control of the planet.
A clan is defeated when it controls no planets. Once defeated, a clan may not return to the tournament. A clan will be declared winner of the tournament when it has eradicated all other clans. However, the admins reserve the right to terminate the war if it appears to have no end in sight after many weeks. In this event, 2 weeks' notice would be given and the winner would be declared based on number of planets held.
2. How matches work
Each week, a clan may attack 2 planets, in addition to providing whatever defense duties are required. Matches shall be held on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
Each week, a thread will be created by me either Sunday night or sometime on Monday, called "WEEK 1" or something like that. The original post will contain an updated map, and official news, updates, etc. In this thread, clan representatives will announce which planets they are attacking, and propose times (again, only on Fri, Sat, or Sun.) The defending clan will then reply to that post, stating whether or not they can make it. If they cannot make it, then they may propose another time. If this time is acceptable for the attacking clan, then all ends well. If this time is unacceptable, then the first two times, the match will be cancelled. However, beyond the first two times, the defending clan will forfeit. Justification: Clans should not be allowed to purposefully schedule matches at odd times to inconvenience the defender. However, clans which have a habit of ducking battles should be penalized.
All battle announcements must be made by Midnight CST on Tuesday, and settled upon by both clans by Midnight CST Thursday. If a large planet is being attacked, both maps must be fought one after the other, in the same server and will be arranged as such by SWBFgamers.
Battles will start when they are scheduled. We understand that coordinating these things is difficult, so admins will be somewhat forgiving about starting on time. But if the game is delayed by an unreasonable amount of time (as determined by the admin, and probably on the order of 10 minutes), we reserve the right to force a start or a forfeit.
The battle announcements must take the following form:
Attacking clan:
Defending clan:
Planet:
Proposed date and time of battle:
Attacker side: (If attacking a native-held planet)
When the defending clan makes their response to the attacker's post, they will select their side.
Only 1 match shall be held at any given time. If a time slot is already taken, another clan will have to choose a different one.
Only posts made in the correct place at swbfgamers.com are considered official. Xfire, GB, and other communications are encouraged but irrelevant for official matters. All official decisions (made by clans or admins) will be posted in these forums for all to see.
Restrictions:
i. Clans may only attack planets that are connected to one of their planets (or those of an allied clan. An official map of the galactic landscape will be posted once the planets have been chosen.
ii. If two clans decide to attack a neutral planet in the same week, then the battle will be held normally, with the clan that announced the attack first getting defender privileges and the ability to choose sides. No more clans may attack a neutral planet after the first 2.
iii. Only one clan may attack a held planet at a time. First come first serve.
3. Rules of Engagement
A. No special units (this means droideka, clone jet, empire jet, and wookie). Trooper, Rocket, Pilot, and Sniper classes are always permitted.
B. Vehicles are permitted in all situations.
C. Capturing CPs is permitted in all situations.
D. Pre-mines are not permitted in any situation, and laying pre-mines amounts to an automatic forfeiture.
E. Spawn mines are permitted.
F. Teamkill is always off.
G. All servers shall be /noaim.
H. No swearing.
I. No false starts.
J. Only an admin may countdown a battle.
K. No playing with an amount of players that violates the rules above.
L. No impersonating other clan members.
M. All players must wear tags ingame. (including Mercenaries)
N. Absolutely no minimap hack/radar permitted.
Violation of rules D, I, J, K, L, N are grounds for immediate forfeiture. Violation of other rules may lead to penalties at the discretion of the admin. Penalties include but are not limited to, in order of grievousness: loss of attacker/defender privileges, reduction of players allowed for the next match, and loss of a planet. Precisely 1 warning will always be given before penalty ensues.
Rule L will be enforced by recording the IPs of random players for every game, and in detail for games in which impersonation is suspected.
Any attempt to influence the opinions of any admin is also grounds for penalty, and if it happens multiple times, disqualification. Calling out another clan for starting early, or having too many members, is completely fine, but all other matters should be left in the admin's hands.
Admins will record the results of a game using one or more of the following methods: freecam, video, xfire screenshots. An Admin will post the screenshot of the final screen on the forums soon after a battle is finished.
4. Diplomacy
Alliances. A Clan may have at most one ally. Justification: this promotes diversity of factions, increases competition, and encourages clan development rather than powerful-friend development.
If clan A is allied with Clan B, these are the benefits:
i. Members of clan B may play as members of clan A in any situation. However the team must be composed of at least 2/3 clan A. Example: 6 members of Clan A show up to attack a planet. At most 3 allied clan members may help out.
ii. Clan A may launch an attack from a planet occupied by Clan B.
iii. If only Clan A and Clan B remain at the end of the tournament, both will be declared winners.
Please note that if Clan B is eliminated, it may not continue to help Clan A. And of course, allied clans may not attack one another.
Alliances may be announced at any time. Both clan representatives must confirm the alliance, which will go into effect immediately. It only takes one representative to terminate an alliance, however.
Mercenaries. Any clan may employ 1 mercenary in any match. The mercenary must not be a member of a different participating clan (including allies).
5. Server Details
All games will be hosted by SWBFgamers. (Right now, SWBFgamers has servers in both Chicago, Atlanta, and Manchester). The defending clan in any clan-clan confrontation will have the ability to choose the server location, although tournament admins reserve the right to change the server location if a clan deliberately chooses an unreasonable location (i.e. CLAN selects Manchester to annoy NALC, despite all members being American).
6. What to do right now.
1. Appoint a clan representative. This member must add my xfire (ovenlovesyou) and have an account on this website. This member will be the official voice of the clan, scheduling matches and casting official votes when such opportunities arise. However, all members of all clans are encouraged to participate in discussions.
EDIT: There should be 1 senior representative, but this representative may appoint backup representatives (in advance!) if they cannot post for some reason.
2. Critique these rules as little or as much as you like in the comments below. If you have significant changes that you think should be made, let other know and they will be voted upon. Each clan gets one vote, and any proposed modification must be agreed on by at least ¾ of clans in order to be made. Bizarre proposals will not be considered at all (such as allowing false starts, prohibiting trooper class, etc.)
3. Make a list of mod maps which you think would be good – stock or mod. The goal is to have about 2x as many maps as clans – an equal number of small and large planets. The maps should be fairly well known, but a map pack will be uploaded well in advance of week 1 for easy downloading. A thread will be created soon in which each clan representative may do the following:
i. Submit a list of large planet suggestions, along with 2 maps for each.
ii. Submit a list of small planet suggestions
Here is a list of clans who have expressed interest in the tournament so far:
Alpha
FC
GGR
UCF
VIPER
WUSI
Other clans we have yet to communicate with:
GRC
YAK (this was a group of swbfgamers.com-associated players and friends formed to participate in the GGCW. If you are not affiliated with a clan that is participating in this tournament, this is a good way to get in on the fun.)
Of course, any clan may enter the tournament, provided it demonstrates competence and/or a reasonable number of players.
That's a well polished rough draft.
YAK probably won't join due to how complex it became last time for YAK to organise things; we had international players in lot's of different clans with variable moods and an apathetic leader (Me).
I thought Yak was a great short-term, "miss-matched" clan. Being as I was a GGCW Admin, I thought it was quite hilarious of the thought of purely random players coming together and fighting another clan that claims to be "trained" for this sort of thing. I encourage Yak past members to come together once more, dispite some time restraints. :cheers:
I will join it. I'll be fun. :cheer:
ALPHA WILL WIN!!!!
[FC] will most likely be participating and I will be the primary representative for the clan.
SWBFgamers will be happy to host servers. I have some thoughts about restricting not allowed units by map luas.
I am pleased by the response so far in these forums and through other channels. It should be a good tournament.
I would like to see YAK (or a similar entity) come to this war, even if the members are completely different. It offers a lot more players the chance to get in on the fun.
Led, any help you can offer is much appreciated!
Last thing, I am currently looking for 2-3 people to be ingame admins for the ICW. These people must be unaffiliated with a participating clan. I shouldn't have a problem finding people over xfire but if you see this and are interested, add me and ask (ovenlovesyou).
How do you sign up to join?

How do you sign up to join?
A clan leader should just make a post here announcing that they are participating. You should also announce a clan representative (which can be anyone and must have an account here) who will make official postings on behalf of the clan.
All interested clans should make their decision and post here within the next few days. I will be on xfire more to answer questions/coordinate/etc. I will get definite answers from as many clans as possible so that no one misses this opportunity.
Almost certainly there will be a clan for random people (called YAK or something else). If you want to be in this "clan" for the sake of the tournament, post here or xfire me. Being on this team should not be considered multiclanning as it is a one-time thing for this tournament.
So far, YAK has 20 members for the ICW.
-Myself (Sha-Zam)
-gdh92
-ComFrost
-ComCody
-Van STING
-Penguin
-Gold Man
-4lbbream
-Trooper X
-Droideka
-Daniel
-Vetran/Josh
-Snake
-dbiz
-BabyEater
-Ecko
-Disciple
Want to help YAK, may not be in all of the wars:
-Unit 33
-Stewie
-Syrion
I encourage anyone who is not already participating in a clan in the ICW to join YAK.
We have a recruitment forum here: http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=4370.0
Even if you don't think you can show up for all of the wars, please join! We need more members!

This is good news. I will inquire on xfire about more members, and link them to that thread. I already know of several candidates. Who is going to be the "leader"/representative for YAK?

The maps/layout will be announced within a few days. The tournament is expected to start in around 2 weeks.
Everyone who participates is expected to know the rules, so you had better read them. "I didn't know" will not be an acceptable excuse in this tournament. Also, if you crash any servers your clan will be immediately disqualified and removed from the tournament archives.

It was decided today that I will be the YAK Representative for the Intergalactic Clan War by a vote from 7 of our members.
I cant crash a server anymore.
But answer my questions.
212 will participate in this tournament. I will be 212's represtative :D

How about no. All of your questions have been answered multiple times in this thread. Also, knowing the rules is not optional and there will be zero tolerance ingame since you
publicly profess that you didn't read them. It shows a lack of respect for all participants in the tournament, most of all your own clan.

Feel free to point out any falsehoods in any of my posts.
I'm pretty busy and I don't have time for this kind of mudslinging. For the sake of UEF's participation in this tournament I suggest you bow out of this thread until you are more well-informed.
I don't know spanish, but here is a google translate for you Anyder. Hopefully it helps:
[spoiler]Hola clanes de Star Wars Battlefront! Mi nombre es horno, y me gustaría anunciar la creación de un nuevo torneo de SWBF. El torneo se organizó y acogió a través SWBFgamers.com. Será en consonancia con la tradición de los GGWs de edad, pero actualizado y cambiado de manera significativa.
Aquí voy a dar el primer borrador de las reglas para este torneo. Estas reglas son provisionales y sujetas a cambios. Si no te gusta una regla, por favor, decirle a todos por qué. Todos los miembros de los clanes participantes están invitados a leer estas reglas a fondo y hablar a continuación. Si usted tiene razonables (como se define por mí) sugerencias para mejorar, haga una lista con claridad en los comentarios abajo, y luego un hilo de votación se creará cuando las modificaciones propuestas se pueden votar (con la participación de cada clan tiene un voto). El objetivo es que la arquitectura de este torneo para ser lo más democrático posible, pero no más.
Otro hilo se creará en el que cualquiera puede nominar a los mapas de tantos como se desee (de valores o mod) que se utilizará en el paisaje de la guerra. Estos también a continuación se va a votar más tarde, quizás en la misma rosca que las mejoras de la regla. Probablemente alrededor de 12-15 mapas serán elegidos.
1. Diseño básico del torneo
Al igual que en las guerras anteriores, el torneo avanza en una serie de semanas (Semana 1, Semana 2, ...).
También como antes, el esqueleto del torneo se compone de una red de planetas que pueden ser ocupados, atacó, defendió, y así sucesivamente por los clanes. Cada planeta está conectada a un número (bajo) de otros planetas, y un clan sólo puede pasar de A a B Planet Planeta si A y B están conectadas. Sólo un clan puede ocupar un planeta en cualquier momento dado.
Habrá dos tipos de planeta, grandes y pequeñas. Un planeta grande contiene dos mapas, y un pequeño planeta contiene un mapa. (Por lo tanto Coruscant, la Tierra, Hoth, Bespin son fuertes candidatos a ser planetas grandes. Mygeeto no lo es) No será, precisamente, como muchos grandes planetas, ya que hay clanes en el comienzo del torneo. Cada clan serán asignados al azar a un planeta de gran tamaño al comienzo del torneo. Esta será su planeta de origen, pero no hay otra forma no tiene importancia especial que se atribuye a este planeta. Las reglas para atacar y defender planetas de origen no son diferentes de aquellos para los planetas grandes en general. (Tenga en cuenta que si un clan es eliminado del torneo, no todos los grandes planetas será planetas de origen.)
Pequeños planetas están ocupadas por los indígenas en el comienzo del torneo. Un equipo nativo puede contener literalmente cualquier persona, incluyendo administradores del torneo, otros miembros del clan, y otros miembros de SWBFgamers que son de interés en participar. Sin embargo, la relación de atacar a los miembros del clan a los nativos que defienden debe ser 3:2. Esto significa que por cada 3 miembros del clan de ataque, no puede haber en la mayoría de los nativos que defendían 2. Ejemplo: CLAN ataca Mustafar con 9 miembros. Por lo tanto sólo 6 jugadores pueden defender como los nativos. Si hay un número raro de los atacantes, entonces las probabilidades se inclinó a favor de los atacantes. Ejemplo: CLAN ataca Mustafar con 8 miembros. A continuación, a sólo 5 jugadores pueden defender como los nativos. (8 * 2/3 = 5.333, en torno a un 5.)
Justificación: Las cuotas deben estar sesgados a favor del clan atacante, ya que el objetivo del torneo es que el clan del clan clan de la interacción y no-aleatorio de la interacción del jugador. La idea es extinguir a los indígenas relativamente temprano en el torneo.
Por otra parte, un máximo de 2 miembros de cualquier clan determinado puede jugar como nativos. Justificación: CLAN vs nativa realmente debería decir CLAN vs nativo no, el clan vs clan enemigo.
Los otros casos son los siguientes: Clan ataca a gran planeta, y el clan ataca pequeño planeta. Los detalles de todas estas situaciones se dan a continuación.
Escenario: Clan ataca a gran planeta.
Número de agresores: No más que el número de defensores
Número de defensores: un máximo de 12
# Mapas jugados: 2. atacante debe ganar los dos tiempos, a fin planeta.
Defender los privilegios: seleccione época y secundarios.
Privilegios atacante: elegir orden en el mapa
Escenario: Clan ataca a los indígenas en el planeta pequeño.
Número de agresores: no hay restricción
Número: 2 para los defensores de cada 3 atacantes
# Mapas jugados: 1. El ganador se lleva planeta.
Defender los privilegios: ninguno
Privilegios atacante: era selecto y laterales
Escenario: Clan ataca a otro clan en el pequeño planeta.
Número de agresores: un máximo de 8
Número de defensores: un máximo de 8
# Mapas jugados: 1. El ganador se lleva planeta.
Defender los privilegios: ninguno
Privilegios atacante: era selecto y laterales
Ejemplo: CLAN ataca NALC en un planeta grande, y sólo el 7 NALC puede desempeñar a la hora designada, a continuación, sólo el 7 CLAN puede jugar.
Ejemplo: los ataques CLAN NALC en un pequeño planeta, y sólo 5 NALC puede jugar a la hora designada, 8 miembros del clan todavía puede jugar.
Ejemplo: CLAN ataca NALC en un planeta grande, pero sólo gana uno de los 2 mapas. NALC retiene el control del planeta.
Un clan es derrotado cuando la controla ningún planeta. Una vez derrotado, un clan no podrá regresar a la competición. Un clan será declarado ganador del torneo cuando se ha erradicado todos los demás clanes. Sin embargo, los administradores se reservan el derecho de quitarle a la guerra si no parece tener final a la vista después de muchas semanas. En este caso, preaviso de 2 semanas se les daría, y el ganador sería declarado en base al número de planetas en poder.
2. ¿Cómo los partidos de trabajo
Cada semana, un clan puede atacar a 2 planetas, además de proporcionar medios de defensa los derechos son obligatorios. Partidos se celebrarán los viernes, sábados y domingos.
Cada semana, un hilo, se creará por mí sea domingo por la noche o en algún momento el lunes, llamada "Semana 1" o algo por el estilo. El post original se incluirá un mapa actualizado y oficial de noticias, actualizaciones, etc En este hilo, los representantes de los clanes que se dará a conocer los planetas que están atacando, y proponer los tiempos (de nuevo, sólo en viernes, sábado o domingo). El clan que defiende A continuación, responder a ese cargo, indicando si son o no puede hacerlo. Si no pueden hacerlo, entonces se puede proponer en otro momento. Si este tiempo es aceptable para el clan de atacar, entonces todo termina bien. Si este tiempo es inaceptable, entonces las dos primeras veces, el partido será cancelada. Sin embargo, más allá de las dos primeras veces, el clan que defiende perderá. Justificación: Los clanes no se debe permitir a propósito para programar partidos en sus ratos libres a las molestias del defensor. Sin embargo, los clanes que tienen el hábito de batallas ducking debe ser penalizado.
Todos los anuncios de batalla debe ser hecha por CCT medianoche del martes, y se estableció por las dos clanes de la medianoche CST jueves. Si una gran planeta está siendo atacado, ambos mapas debe ser combatido una tras otra, en el mismo servidor y se dispondrán como tal por SWBFgamers.
Las batallas se iniciará cuando hayan sido inscritos. Entendemos que la coordinación de estas cosas es difícil, por lo que los administradores será algo indulgente acerca de cómo iniciar a tiempo. Pero si el juego se retrasó por una cantidad razonable de tiempo (determinado por el administrador, y probablemente del orden de 10 minutos), nos reservamos el derecho de obligar a un principio o de caducidad de una.
Los anuncios de batalla debe tomar la forma siguiente:
Atacar del clan:
La defensa del clan:
Planeta:
Fecha propuesta y el tiempo de la batalla:
Lado del atacante: (Si es atacar a un planeta natal de bolsillo)
Cuando el clan que defiende hace que su respuesta al mensaje del atacante, que seleccionará a su lado.
Sólo un partido se llevará a cabo en un momento dado. Si un espacio de tiempo ya está en uso, otro clan tendrá que elegir uno diferente.
Sólo los mensajes hechos en el lugar correcto en el swbfgamers.com se consideran oficiales. Xfire, GB y otras comunicaciones se anima, pero irrelevante para los asuntos oficiales. Todas las decisiones oficiales (hechos por los clanes o administradores) serán publicados en estos foros para que todos vean.
Restricciones:
i. Los clanes sólo puede atacar los planetas que están conectados a uno de sus planetas (o las de un clan aliado. Un mapa oficial del paisaje galáctico será publicado una vez que los planetas han sido elegidos.
ii. Si dos clanes deciden atacar a un planeta neutral en la misma semana, entonces la batalla se llevará a cabo con normalidad, con el clan que ha anunciado el primer ataque de conseguir privilegios defensor. No hay clanes más puede atacar a un planeta neutral después de los primeros 2.
iii. Sólo un clan puede atacar a un planeta celebra en un momento. Por orden de llegada.
3. Reglas de compromiso
A. No hay unidades especiales (es decir droideka, jet clon, chorro de imperio, y Wookie). Clases de soldado de caballería, Rocket, piloto, y Sniper siempre está permitida.
B. Vehículos están permitidos en todas las situaciones.
CP C. La captura está permitida en todas las situaciones.
D. Pre-minas no están permitidos en cualquier situación, y por la que se pre-minas equivale a una pérdida automática.
E. minas de Spawn están permitidos.
F. teamkill siempre está apagado.
G. Todos los servidores será / Noaim.
H. No jurar.
I. No hay salidas en falso.
J. Sólo un administrador puede cuenta atrás de una batalla.
K. No se permite jugar con una cantidad de jugadores que viole las reglas anteriores.
L. No hacerse pasar por miembros de otros clanes.
M. Todos los jugadores deben llevar una placa con el juego. (Incluyendo mercenarios)
Violación de las reglas D, I, J, K y L son motivo de pérdida inmediata. La violación de otras normas puede dar lugar a penas a discreción del administrador. Las sanciones incluyen, pero no se limitan a, con el fin de grievousness: la pérdida de los privilegios de atacante / defensor, la reducción de jugadores permitidos para el próximo partido, y la pérdida de un planeta. Precisamente, una advertencia siempre se administra antes de pena sobreviene.
L La regla se aplica mediante el registro de las IPs de los jugadores al azar para cada juego, y en detalle de los juegos en los que se sospecha la suplantación.
Cualquier intento de influir en las opiniones de cualquier administrador es también motivo de sanción, y si sucede varias veces, la descalificación. Llamar a otro clan para comenzar temprano, o tener demasiados miembros, es completamente bien, pero todos los demás asuntos deben dejarse en manos del administrador.
Administradores registrará los resultados de un juego con uno o más de los siguientes métodos: freecam, videos, capturas de pantalla Xfire. Un administrador se publicará la captura de pantalla de la pantalla final en los foros poco después de una batalla ha terminado.
4. Diplomacia
Alianzas. Un clan puede tener como máximo un aliado. Justificación: esto promueve la diversidad de las facciones, la competencia aumenta y estimula el desarrollo del clan en lugar de desarrollo de gran alcance-amigo.
Si un clan A está aliado con el clan B, estos son los beneficios:
i. Los miembros del clan B puede desempeñar como miembros de un clan A en cualquier situación. Sin embargo, el equipo debe estar compuesto de por lo menos 2/3 del clan A. Ejemplo: 6 miembros del Clan A aparecen para atacar a un planeta. En el mejor de 3 aliados miembros del clan pueden ayudar.
ii. Un clan puede lanzar un ataque desde un planeta ocupado por Clan B.
iii. Si sólo un clan y B Clan permanecer en la final del torneo, ambos serán declarados ganadores.
Tenga en cuenta que si se elimina el Clan B, no puede continuar para ayudar a Clan A. Y, por supuesto, los clanes aliados no pueden atacarse unos a otros.
Las alianzas pueden ser anunciados en cualquier momento. Tanto los representantes del clan debe confirmar la alianza, que entrará en vigor inmediatamente. Sólo se necesita un representante para poner fin a una alianza, sin embargo.
Mercenarios. Cualquier clan puede emplear a un mercenario en cualquier partido. El mercenario no debe ser un miembro de un clan diferente de participación (incluyendo a los aliados).
5. Detalles del Servidor
Todos los juegos se celebrará en SWBFgamers. (En este momento, SWBFgamers tiene servidores, tanto en Chicago, Atlanta y Manchester). El clan que defiende en cualquier confrontación de clan clan tienen la capacidad de elegir la ubicación del servidor, aunque los administradores del torneo se reserva el derecho de cambiar la ubicación del servidor, si un clan elige deliberadamente una ubicación razonable (es decir, CLAN selecciona a Manchester para molestar a NALC, a pesar de todos los miembros ser americano).
6. ¿Qué hacer en estos momentos.
1. Nombrar un representante del clan. Este miembro debe añadir mi xfire (ovenlovesyou) y tiene una cuenta en este sitio web. Este miembro será la voz oficial del clan, la programación de los partidos y la emisión de los votos oficiales, cuando dichas oportunidades surgen. Sin embargo, todos los miembros de todos los clanes se les anima a participar en los debates.
EDIT: No debe haber un representante de alto nivel, pero este representante podrá designar a los representantes de copia de seguridad (por adelantado!) Si no se puede publicar por alguna razón.
2. Crítica de estas reglas tan poco o tanto como quieras en los comentarios abajo. Si usted tiene cambios importantes que usted piensa que debe hacer, dar a conocer al otro y que se someterá a votación. Cada clan tiene un voto, y cualquier propuesta de modificación debe ser acordada por al menos tres cuartas partes de los clanes con el fin de hacerse. Bizarre propuestas no serán consideradas en absoluto (como permitir salidas en falso, la prohibición de la clase soldado, etc)
3. Haga una lista de mapas de mod que usted piensa que sería bueno - acciones o mod. El objetivo es tener alrededor de 2x tantos mapas como clanes - el mismo número de planetas pequeños y grandes. Los mapas deben ser muy bien conocida, pero un pack de mapas se pueden cargar con suficiente antelación de la semana 1 para facilitar su descarga. Un hilo se creará en breve en la que cada representante del clan puede hacer lo siguiente:
i. Presentar una lista de sugerencias planeta de gran tamaño, junto con 2 mapas para cada uno.
ii. Presentar una lista de sugerencias pequeño planeta
Aquí está una lista de los clanes que han expresado su interés en el torneo hasta el momento:
Alfa
FC
GGR
UCF
VIPER
Wusi
Otros clanes que aún tenemos que comunicarse con:
GRC
YAK (se trataba de un grupo de swbfgamers.com asociadas a los jugadores y amigos se formaron para participar en el GGCW. Si usted no está afiliado a un clan que participa en este torneo, esta es una buena manera de conseguir a la diversión.)
Por supuesto, cualquier clan puede entrar en el torneo, siempre y demuestra la competencia y / o un número razonable de jugadores.

So far, YAK has 11 members for the ICW.
-Myself
-gdh92
-ComFrost
-ComCody
-Van STING
-Penguin
-Gold Man
-4lbbream
-Trooper X
-Droideka
-Syrion
I encourage anyone who is not already participating in a clan in the ICW to join YAK.
We have a recruitment forum here: http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=4370.0
Even if you don't think you can show up for all of the wars, please join! We need more members!
I'm pretty sure {PLA}Daniel also is going to join YAK, I'll double check next time he's on, but I think he said he wanted to.
FYI, my interntet is kind of screwy, it takes me longer than normal to load a map (about 30 seconds to a couple of minutes) after I join. I also get connection to host often, sometimes after every map. Just warning you that I might be late to a match due to that, or I might disappear after the first map and come on a little into the second map if there is two in a row. This problem does not cause lag on my end or for anyone else, as far as I know.
It is still boring to read the epic text -.-
But Thanks :D
I read the rules above, and they didn't specify how many members a clan could have. YAK has 13 members and still going strong.
Bah! Oh I suppose I'll join the ranks of YAK one more time...
Timetable update
Here is the current prognosis for when this thing will begin, and the steps leading up to it.
Saturday 7/13
*By midnight central time Friday night, all clans who wish to participate should contact me to confirm. I have been talking to everyone on xfire so this should not be news to anyone.
*After this deadline, I will finalize the maps list and layout and post it here. Each clan will be randomly assigned to a Large Planet (one which has 2 maps).
Sunday 7/15
*I will create a thread called [ICW] Week 1. Here clan representatives will announce their battle plans according to the process outline in the Rules. Give them a once over before posting, please.
Tuesday 7/17
*By midnight all clans must have posted their initial announcements.
Thursday 7/19
*By midnight all scheduling conflicts must be resolved as per the rules.
Friday - Sunday 7/20-22
*Battles take place
Just a heads up, you say "by midnight" as a deadline for a lot of things, could you please specify the timezone "midnight" is. We have many foreign players that are from other countries other than the U.S. and Canada. Thank you.
Attention
The clan decision deadline has been changed, for the last time, to tomorrow (Sat.) Night at midnight central.
Well, it is down to the final hour, but Wusi has voted to join the ICW. There were some concerns brought up about some of the rules, and we were hopeing to talk and get some clarification on those issues if we are to join.
Attention,
The current clan list is as follows:
212
DW
FC
GRC
UEF
YAK A
YAK B
There will be precisely one decision made tomorrow: whether or not WUSI will join the tournament.
For now, here is the map list:
Large planets
Bespin: Cloud City, Platforms
Coruscant: City, Streets
Hoth: Caves, Echo Base
Kashyyyk: Docks, Islands
Rhen Var: Citadel, Harbor
Tatooine: Jabba's Palace, Mos Eisley
Yavin 4: Arena, Temple
Small Planets
Dantooine
Kamino
Maze
Mustafar
Ord Mantell
Tranquaan
Utapau (no vehicles)
A map pack shall be compiled, distributed, and posted here ASAP.
Also, Wild has been made an admin.
I am thankful to be chosen to be an admin for this tournament. I hope to uphold the integrity of the tournament and help make it one of the best tournaments SWBF has seen since the GGW.
We are withdrawling from the tournament has ecko as been demoted from leadership

May I suggest removing Maze from the list, it is not a good map for a tournament setting. You can contact me sometime on xfire for a few things. If others want to have Maze, I am perfectly fine with it, I would just rather not have maps like these in a serious tourney.
Random home planet assignments:
212 - Coruscant
DW - Tatooine
FC - Kashyyyk
GRC - Yavin IV
UEF - Hoth
YAK - Rhen Var
Other YAK - Bespin
Any suggestions for an alternative to Maze? Personally I find it to be a fun change of pace, but I can make the change.

I would suggest that we keep Maze, but make the rule that you have to go through the maze, and not around to the back. Otherwise it would be too easy.
Any objections to replacing Maze with Endor? If not I will go with that.

No objections here. I like the idea. :)
Here's our fantastic Galaxy Map Template courtesy of Unit 33.

Great map! Looks spiffy.
I agree, Endor is a suitable replacement for Maze.
The map is very nice, but isn't Dune Sea being replaced with Jabba?

I propose for whoever hosts Ord Mantell to make the reinforcements 250 per team instead of leaving it at the default 500. Without the bleed drain this map can take over an hour to play one round on which is simply absurd.

That 3 hour game was brilliant last time. :sick:
I agree, it was stupid. Right when you think you're going to win the apposing team CPs and it goes for another 30 minutes... :td:
Longest, most boring game I have ever played. To think that I actually liked that map before that battle. Go figure.
I like ord mantel and thought the huge battle was actually relatively fun, but the reinforcement count should definitely be cut in half
It was fun and epic but also got very tedious and stretched out too long.

I have 2 theories that may or may not be possible.
1) Reconstructing the mission lua for ord mantell to add bleed
2) Hex editing the munged mission lvl for ord mantell to add bleed
Yes, we will make sure that the reinforcement count is reduced on this map
Were is the map pack download?
I could upload the map pack, if needed. Oven, has it been done already?
Mart, I believe most of the maps, if not all, are in the GGCW map pack. Here is a quick link:
http://speedy.sh/z5xyp/GGCWMaps.zip
Some of those maps aren't in the ICW, but they are still fun. Enjoy.

What is a pre-mine? ::)

What is a pre-mine? ::)
When you set a mine on the battlefield before the server admin counts down to 0 to start the battle. That would be considered a pre-mine because it was set before the battle officially started.
Jamman and Buckler have been made admins. Xfires: jammy19, rtlbuckler
Server passwords will be: ovenisgod edit by buckler: password = icw
Thanks fo map pack Sha-Zam...how do i know if t dowloaded correctly...i have only played in one mod map ICW battle and i already had that mod map...I don't have Winrar or Winzip...complicated stuff :P
You could try this guide :) http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=4668.0
And to check if they work just go to singleplayer then instant action and they should be at the bottom of the list.
Okay, thanks Ghd :D ;) :) =) :* B)

Wow this whole thing looks really cool :tu:
Too bad all my VS clan members disbanded a long while ago...
Is there any way i can get in on this w/o having my own clan?

Absolutely. You may join YAK or ELK, which are clans composed of players from multiple different clans, or no clan at all, who just want to enjoy the tournament. Contact Shazam (YAK representative; scoutz2436) and/or ComFrost (ELK representative; wisefrozenthunder) via xfire, and have a look at/post in this thread (http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=4937.0).
(If you prefer the unattached lifestyle, you can be a mercenary, but you would get a lot less playing time.)
You would be added to ELK. It is recommended that you join the ELK/YAK xfire group and checkup on this site for ICW updates.
PM me if you have any questions or concerns. Hope to see you join. :happy:

On a side note, I just had an idea for the tournament:
I think the winning clan(s) should be able to get a SWBFgamers hosted server of their choice. :)
(In the case that YAK or ELK wins, it could just be "SWBFgamers________" with our choice of maps and mods)
hey the original 7z link i uploaded to speedyshare has hit its maximum download quota so I have re-uploaded the map pack here

FC and 212 already have servers. If YAK wins, let me know ;)
*Ahem* If YAK and 212 win. We're allied, so we would both win. :)
If YAK wins, I think it would be cool to have a SWBFgamers only server, with modded maps and other things that are'nt OC further make it SWBFgamers only.
